Description

ASAFOETIDA - ground root - 1000g (1kg)

 

 

Plant description

Asafoetida is the dried latex (gum oleoresin) exuded from the rhizome or tap root of several species of Ferula, a perennial herb that grows 1 to 1.5 m tall. The species is native to the deserts of Iran and mountains of Afghanistan and is mainly cultivated in nearby India.[4] As its name suggests, asafoetida has a fetid smell, but in cooked dishes, it delivers a smooth flavour reminiscent of leeks.

It is also known as asant, food of the gods, jowani badian, stinking gum, hing, hengu, ingu, kayam, and ting

     
 

Properties

It is used against hysteria, in jaundice, in diseases of the stomach. In small quantities, it stimulates digestion and has a calming effect.

Side effects - irritation of the gastrointestinal tract.

It is used as a spice in Asian cuisine. In Europe it is used mainly by the French - for this purpose hardened, agglomerated resin (asafoetida), which in the initial phase of a grey-yellow color, then red-brown is used. It is used in the form of finely granular or as a powder. It has a sharp and bitter taste. It smells a little like garlic.
